RE: Wheel Chocks Again -Cheap vs $
My suggestion would be to buy one of each - the condor and the harbor freight version - it should make it easy for you to decide which is worth buying for the third one, based on how you use 'em.
I bought the condor and love it - saving my pennies to buy 2 more (got three bikes to park in a smallish area).
Cheers,

RE: Wheel Chocks Again -Cheap vs $
well, with many positive comments about the harbor freight chock.I'm going to go get one today. Will have to get a little creative to have it attached to the 2x6's and be easily removed on my 5x10 landscape trailer.

You'll have to get in line behind me. I decided to go with three of these puppies at that price. Three for what one Condor would cost so if they suck I won't feel bad.

just purchased mine about an hour ago,,,,,,,,,,,40 bucks plus tax,,,,,,,it looks better then in the picture. The base is 9 1/4" x 15 1/2", wish the base had some sort of extender/wings to help out with the side to side movement. it's definetly a solid chock

Harbor Frieght has two types of chocks. The one posted previously and a new one that mimics the condor stand alone chock. The one posted sells for 69 regularly but 39 on sale every few months. The other version is 99 and 79 when on sale.

Yes they do. They had a hold on it a few months ago and now it is in the stores. I looked at one this week in the Davenport Iowa store.

RE: Wheel Chocks Again -Cheap vs $
Guys,
I've been following these threads with interest. I have a Kendon trailer that I use to shuttle my training bikes and Ultra to and from the range. The trailer part is okay, but the wheel dock is nothing more than bent tubing which has gotten tweaked and now causes the bikes to lean over. I don't mind if one of the KZPs tips over, but not the Ultra. So I'm looking for a good one to mount on the trailer. I need something that canhold up undera LOT of repeated use, and is easy fora man to do alone. One of the hardest things for me to do when loading, is getting the front tire aligned up. The stripped KZPs are easy, but the Ultra with the fairing and lowers is difficult, because I cannot see where the front wheel is going. Same with unloading. The tweaked dock on the Kendon makes it a struggle for me to get the bike out. I usually have to ask someone to push the damn thing to get it started.
Suggestions and ideas are welcome.
Thanks
